I dropped out of high school when I was 16, after I had a huge argument with my English teacher over the meaning of the word 'existentialism.'
My grandmother was a teacher, my sister was a teacher, my daughter was a teacher and is now a superintendent in northern California, and my son-in-law is a high school principal. I am surrounded.
I went to a Catholic high school and it seemed like every time I drew something for a class project, it either got thrown away by the teacher or something.
I took Spanish in high school and I didn't do too well in it. My Spanish teacher told me not to go on with Spanish anymore, so I was discouraged a little bit.
If I was going to play offense, I'd love to play running back. In high school I played quarterback and wide receiver, but I wouldn't mind running over some folks.
It wasn't until my last year of college, 1976, that I decided well, maybe he's right. Delbert had been pushing me since high school to put 100% into my music.
I've been performing since I was in high school, so I've seen people react to my music and my playing. I'm always appreciative when people like the music, but I'm not shocked.
I grew up in Synagogue in the boys' choir. We didn't listen to music in the house; only at temple. Then I went to a mostly African American high school on the South Side of Chicago and joined a gospel choir.
I was very driven in high school. I worked a bunch of odd jobs. I never partied. I never drank. I was just a theater geek who was obsessed with movies.
I was obsessed with romance. When I was in high school, I saw 'Doctor Zhivago' every day from the day it opened until the day it left the theater.
I graduated high school and I didn't have a skill set and I didn't want to go to college. I needed a job.
The most influential thing was the two Chris Rock specials that came out when I was in high school. I was obsessed with that stuff.
I'm 53. I don't care about high school students. I find them irritating and uninformed.
I'm so fortunate in that I've never had another job to pay a bill but acting, since the day I got out of high school.
When I was in high school, there's no doubt I was trying to swing like Tiger Woods when he first came on tour.
My book is already online. I can type 150 words a minute. I took typing in high school.
I knew out of high school I didn't want to go to college. I knew what whatever I did wouldn't have anything to do with college.
Every step, whether at high school or at college or at the NFL, I had to climb and crawl and scratch to get there.
I still regret that I never played soccer in high school. I chose basketball over soccer.
In high school, I weighed 175 to 180. I looked like Abraham Lincoln. I was 6-foot-3, biggest thing in the class, but tall, not fat.
I like singing as much as I like acting, and all through high school I thought I might be a Broadway singer.
